  • how to find coverage for PCR-enrichment? (raindance)

    Hi,
    I used Raindance technolofy to entich the exome of chromoxome X. Raindance uses PCR in nanodrops for enrichment.
    Then I sequenced using HiSeq.
    I want to know which of my targets were covered by at least 10 reads, for exmaple, and which targets are not covered.
    I tried to use Picard CollectTargetedPcrMetrics , but got unreasonable results.

    What I did:
    got BAM files from Eland (from the NGS supplier).
    Convereted to picard sorted bam files by SortSam
    and then used CollectTargetedPcrMetrics, with the interval files from raindance:
    AMPLICON_INTERVALS= primers list
    TARGET_INTERVALS= targets list

    Does anyone know what I did wrong?
    I there an alternative free software for this analysis?

    Picard CalculateHsMetrics always worked great for me in whole exome, and I cannot get any help or support from RainDance.

    I will be grateful for any advice!
    Thanks

    Current Approaches to Protein Sequencing
    by seqadmin


    Proteins are often described as the workhorses of the cell, and identifying their sequences is key to understanding their role in biological processes and disease. Currently, the most common technique used to determine protein sequences is mass spectrometry. While still a valuable tool, mass spectrometry faces several limitations and requires a highly experienced scientist familiar with the equipment to operate it. Additionally, other proteomic methods, like affinity assays, are constrained...

    Strategies for Sequencing Challenging Samples
    by seqadmin


    Despite advancements in sequencing platforms and related sample preparation technologies, certain sample types continue to present significant challenges that can compromise sequencing results. Pedro Echave, Senior Manager of the Global Business Segment at Revvity, explained that the success of a sequencing experiment ultimately depends on the amount and integrity of the nucleic acid template (RNA or DNA) obtained from a sample. “The better the quality of the nucleic acid isolated...
